European MPs are this week reminding people they only need to remember one number when travelling in the EU including the UK. The free emergency number 112 is common to all 27 member states - including the UK - and connects to ambulance, fire or police. It has been in use for 20 years, but...

BBC News - Family life on benefits I can see how this thread will unravel. But even a well balanced person will struggle to fully justify some of the weekly expenses this token 'family on benefits' makes. Their logical reasoning leaves a lot to be desired Heaven forbid having to consider...

For those of you who believe in statistics : :D Life Clock

It must be, I'm sure of it. I want a Porsche. Specifically a GT3. Never even liked porsches before but the last week or so I've found myself trawling through autotrader and dealer sites with increasing regularity. I can't afford one but if I trade in my w211 who knows? Am I doomed or will...

:D Airplane Prank - Pilot pretends to faint - YouTube

Stood a chance of being funny if The Office had never been written. Talk about formula acting/humour - it's identical. Shame on you Ricky :mad:

The battery (genuine MB) on my A-class has just expired after 6 years (almost to the day!). I've bought a new battery, again genuine MB, which cost less than Halfords cheapest battery?! Is 6 years battery life good/bad/average??

Just a mini-review of my friend's RS6 V10 that I had the pleasure of driving on Saturday. First things first; the power. Not as immediate as I would have thought, it's obviously fast as **** but it didn't feel rapid, like an Evo FQ400 does. The ride was pretty decent even in sport mode...

How long will the spark plugs last on an E55 please? I've read 100,000miles - is that correct?

I've received this today - written exactly as received. "Hello, I saw your advert on gumtree. I'm 16 years old and looking for somewhere to stay as mom and dad have left me with nothing and moved to essex. I don't have any money and have a dog so looking for somewhere that takes housing...

Just rung to renew my warranty (which I was quoted for last week at £1040 ish) It has now gone up to just under £3000 !!! I nearly passed out! Wish I had payed when I rung the first time!!!!

BBC - BBC Two Programmes - Murray Walker: Life in the Fast Lane :thumb::thumb:

As per the title. Looking to do a DIY oil change on my W202 C280 (Inline 6) but am not sure whether Mobil 1 New life 0w/40 is worth a punt to possibly improve performance or more likely to cause me unnecessary headaches with leaks around the engine? Should I just stick to normal Mobil 1 -...

Had to do this ML which was suffering the usual bush rashes and lots of car wash swirls/scratches. The usual wash/clay and machine polish to bring it back to life. look at all them scratches ...... 50/50 after polishing that looks better And the finished car, shame there wasn't much...

or is it the other way around?

This guy had his face blown off when he touched a power cable. Doesn't it put most of our "problems" into perspective? He has undergone massive reconstruction and a face transplant, but remains blind and without feeling. Talk about true grit...
